THE GRANGE.
Anniversary Exercises of Bingham
Grange,


Fir day of April dawncd bright and fair
The piercing winds which had prevailed
for the prcviou. few days seemed TO have
spent their fury and gave us a brief glimpse
of spring.
Notwithstanding the state of the roads,
which seemed in some places to be set up
cdgcwayS, sleighs heavily loaded with
Patrons, their families and baskets began
ut I'M early hour to arrive at Grange hail.
and by 1890 A. NJ. a croud of happy, smil-
ing faces had assembled. After an hour
or two spent in the happicst manner, the
tables ware arranged for dinncr--such Il
dinner as only Patrons can fully apprcci-
ate. As compliment to the Gu mary
skill of the ladies of Bingham Grange, the
good things rapidly disappeared
All having eaten their I'LL. the hall was
once more put in order when Worthy
Master Moore announced that Mr.. Smith

qucstcd the Patrons present to arrange
themselves on the piazza in front Of the
hotel for Photographic view About
IL as handsome Patrons as can be pro

posed themselves most gracefully, doubt
less forming n charming group. Immcdi-
atcly after this important rvent the doors
were thrown open for a public meeting.

The total population on December 1.
1885. was 28,S1s, ,45s. The births dur.
ing tine year numbered 1.O64. 400. the
marriages go, 707, and the deaths 49,

was S47, ,542, and the average number
of births per 1000 Of population S.6.
of marriages. 1874, and of deaths. 25.3.

NEGRO RepARrEE.

NE Conleal Crudeness Of the Average Col
eesd Citisea's Wit.
The fun of the negro is chiefly in his
good-nature. His failures ut wit are
sometimes irresistibly laughable from
their comical crudeness. As an exam
pie Of misdirected incapacity for wit is
the following attempt at a pun. A ven
cradle darkey rebuked the familiarity
Of some of his white neighbors after the
war by stating to them, with emphasis:
II isn't yer uncle, any mo-. Use yer
skal" But, to Offset this, there is
credited to the very same source the
really witty observation that he was
.'r Ut colored. he was born so.''
"A colored witness in court was
witty through the stupidity of the
examining counsel. The man Ct Law
asked: "When you first saw
the man horseback where was
he?" and the answer of the witness
was: ION the horses back, sah." The
next question failed to get the attorney
out of the predicament "After he was
hit with the club, or whatever it was,
where was he?'' 'sOn his own back,
sah.''
''What did you kill my sheep for?"
inquired a farmer of darky.
'Any sheep dat bites me, 1 kill. !"
was the answer. This shows discrim-
ination. but hardly equal to that in the
following: A visitor at the capital asked
. polite negro if his master was a
Christian. The answer was: mo, sab.
he's q member Of Congress"
A very good story is told at the ex-
pense of Nicholas Biddle, known as
"Nick" Biddle by the political oppo-
nents of the United States Bank, of
which he was president. He one day
met Henry, an old negro waiter. and
asked him if he was not sometimes
called "Old Harry" ''Yes. sab; and
sometimes dey call me Ole Nick. ~
